The residents of Srinagar and other parts of the valley woke up to an unseasonal snowfall, setting in early winter chill in Kashmir as the minimum temperature fell below the freezing point for the first time this season
Heavy snowfall across Kashmir on Thursday cut off the valley from the rest of the country as the arterial Jammu-Srinagar National Highway was closed for traffic while all flights to and fro Srinagar airport were canceled, officials said here.
An official of the traffic department told PTI that roads that connect the summer capital with far-flung areas like Gurez, Macchil, Kieran, and Tangdhar have also been closed due to adverse weather conditions. Over 2000 vehicles are stranded on the highway due to the closure.
